Time - Hours and days - Worksheet

The "Hours and Days" worksheet is an educational resource designed to help children grasp the concepts of time conversion and duration. The key learning outcome is for students to understand that there are 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour. Through a series of activities, children practice converting minutes to hours and minutes using clocks. They are encouraged to apply their counting skills, particularly counting in fives, to aid in these conversions. One of the tasks involves matching bars, which represent hours, to the correct hours and minutes, with each bar having one or more corresponding matches. Another exercise requires the children to convert the duration of various activities, such as football and swimming, from minutes into hours and minutes, enhancing their fluency and precision in dealing with time.

Additionally, the worksheet includes reasoning and problem-solving activities that challenge children to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios. For example, they must complete stem sentences and circle the correct statements regarding the number of minutes in an hour and the number of hours in a day. One of the problems presents a statement by a character named Esin, who claims that if it is 5 o'clock now, it will be 5 o'clock again after a whole day has passed. Students are asked to agree or disagree with Esin's statement and explain their reasoning, thereby reinforcing their understanding of the cyclical nature of time. The worksheet provides answers to support self-assessment and ensure that the students can verify their understanding of the concepts taught.
